An Actress Life.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Young women who are attracted by
the glamor of the stage, and allow
their vanity to convince them that
the attentions they may receive will
compensate for the amount of work
involved, are apt to find that an &C
tress' life is not the bed of roses they
pictured. In their efforts to keep up
their work, and also to have the joy
GUS time they had hoped for, they
must either part with health or fail
to meet, honestly the rigorous demands
Of their duties. A well ordered am
bilious life on the stage means hard
work, quite as hard as any other line
of work could be, but not too hard for
the aim of lifetime. The experience
of g. single performance before the
but would it carry with it the same
degree of pleasure if repeated seven
and eight times a week? Let anna
teur actors consider what it means to
labor indefatigabiy on production
which may fail and be cast aside in a.
week or, what is worse (for the per-
formers) succeeds so well as to run g.
thousand or more consecutive nights.
1t is in these wearisome repetitions
that the ealing of an aftor becomes rou-
tine of the most irksome nature to q.
progressive spirit. The belief is COM
mon that work is lightened by re-
peated performances. Never was
there greater mistake. On the con-
trary they render more needful than
ever watchful attention and study to
maintain that nice balance Of perfcr-
nance which gained the applause Of
the critical at the outset, and it will
be found most necessary to broaden
his art outside the limits of that never
ending part, in order that the final
performance does not find him so
nodded into all it's lines as to faint
all further presentation.
Young women aspirants to the stage
should also consider what it means to
act in sickness as well as in health,
to smile and caper or storm and
struggle when every nerveis throbbing
with pain. Yet every pang must be
hidden, every ache suppressed: Au-
diences are unconsciously hard task
masters. They pay their money not
to pity, but to applaud.

s..as,s ON A COLD DAY.
BY JAMEs BERRY BENsELL.

The skies are cold and gray,
As If some dazzling day
Had burnt itself to ashes of despair;
Small dead leaves curled and dry
Go flying idly by,
woman worn and bent
Who neer has known content,
Sings underneath my window sad song.
Her eyes betray to me
A lifeis hard history,
With towers of evil thickly set along.
AS for sweet summer fed.
And for its roses dead,
We mourn while Winter blows the branches
And yearn for fragrant June
AS for the youth and tune
In an old voice that once was fine ana ialr
So my life the roads
Grew green meath heavy loads.
And dull and cold the burnt-out day of ire;
The dead leaves blown atar
Hopes shattered visions are,
Or ashes left from beautiful Desire.
Yet by my spirits ear
With happy heart hear
4 voice that once was strong aud clear ana sweet,
Come thrilling through the mist
To where lean and list
Ny soul outreaching the weird notes to meet.
The air is full of song
In voices hushed for long,
But most me odious when they wake again.
II Ell LlOugn Ln0 tuHSS b1lCy oAA6
Are messengers to bring
New vigor to an old and bitter pain.
And so we climb and reach:
Beyond poor human speech,
To something broad and grand and Heaven high,
While longing still to find
dear dream left behind,
Or the lost value of vanished sigh.
All me these days so cold
Have crimson streaks and gold
That fash and flush along Lifes barren waste
So that the dry leaves glow,
And tears forget to flow,
While grief grows quiet in its hateful haste

and she seemed to cherish g. settled
aversion to the brothers of the human

says it's about daycent man, and if
there's one daycent man top of ground
I thought I'd like to be readin' about

Look Well to the Bridges
From the Cleveland Leader.

FTOm I4le CIeveIduu Ieauer.
AS bridges are built, and as trains
are run over them, the wonder is that
such frightful ''accidents" are not
more numerous. The greater part of
the capital that goes into railroading
during the next few. years should be
employed in strengthening the road
ways and bridges of existing lines
rather than in the construction of new
ones. That has been the aim of some
of the older railway companies during
the past ten years, and the result with
them has been to make their roads as
safe as ordinary prudence would re-
quire. But on some new roads, and
many old ones, no man is justified in
travelling unless his lie is heavily in
sured.
